导出博客文章SEATTLE -- Before sending too much praise in the direction of No. 8 Washington
and what the Huskies have done defensively through two games, there needs to be
a disclaimer.Facing Rutgers and Idaho to open the season is far from a daunting
task.But for those two games, the Huskies are getting what was expected from
their defense. While plenty of reserves have been rotated through, Washingtons
starting defense has given up just three points through the first two weeks,
allowing a field goal to Rutgers and shutting out Idaho into the third quarter
last Saturday before the backups got their turn.Its likely those defensive
numbers are only going to get better with the Huskies closing out their
non-conference slate against lower-division Portland State on Saturday.The guys
for two games have played really hard and have played really focused, Washington
coach Chris Petersen said Monday. Theres been a couple things, but youre always
going to have a couple plays when you have -- I dont know how many plays weve
seen so far, 130, 140 plays or something -- so you have a couple things. But I
dont think theres been a lot of busts and I think theyve tackled fairly well.Its
easy to get overshadowed when starting quarterback Jake Browning has eight
touchdown passes in two games and dynamic wide receiver/kick returner John Ross
has found the end zone five times. Browning leads the Pac-12 in pass efficiency
rating thus far and the Huskies have scored at least 40 points in five straight
games dating back to the end of last season. Thats a first in school history.But
they only get those opportunities if the Huskies are doing what is expected on
the defensive side.I like watching those guys when theyre like that, Petersen
said.This was a defensive unit that was supposed to be good. They have
experience in the front seven led by linebackers Azeem Victor and Keishawn
Bierria, and perhaps one of the best defensive backfields in college football
led by Budda Baker, Kevin King and Sidney Jones.The pass rush off the edge has
been questionable, however. Washingtons been able to create pressure with the
interior of its defensive line and through blitzes, collecting seven sacks in
two games. But the Huskies are still waiting for a pass rusher off the edge to
emerge to follow in the footsteps of Hauoli Kikaha in 2014 and Travis Feeney
last year.While the matchup with Portland State might seem lopsided, Petersen is
hopeful the Vikings offense will give Washington an unfamiliar look. Portland
State runs a pistol-style offense, one that Petersen cant remember seeing since
arriving at Washington.Everybodys got their strengths and weaknesses. Portland
State does a great job with their offense, Petersen said. Its a really good
scheme, they are playing to their strengths and their quarterback really makes
some things happen.---Online:AP college football website:

Whether Jeremy Hill deserves a prominent role in LSUs offence this early in the
season is a matter for debate. England number eight Billy Vunipola has revealed
he dreams of playing in the NFL.The Sydney-born Saracens back row, a key figure
in the Red Roses revival under head coach Eddie Jones, is committed to rugby
union for the next three years, but would like to try a whole new ball game at
some point after that.Im at Saracens until 2019, pushing myself with regards to
international honours and seeing if I can represent England. It is hard as a
rugby player to talk about stuff like that [future career], the 24-year-old told
The Times.I really, really would like to go away and play something else. I
really want to try out NFL, just push myself and give it a crrack.ddddddddddddIf
it doesnt happen then go home. It is a long time until then and my mum will
probably read this and tell me to shut up and concentrate on one thing.Asked if
he watched the recent NFL games at Wembley, he said: No. I actually dont enjoy
watching it but I look at it, and think, If he can do it, I can do it.He added:
At the moment my focus is fully on rugby but it is something I dream about. It
interests me. Their pitch is so small. That is why they are so particular about
movements and where their feet are.
